Costain has been awarded four contracts worth \u00a31.4m under the Department for Transport\u2019s (DfT) Specialist Technical and Commercial Advice for Rail and Other Transport Modes (STARThree) Framework<\/a><\/h2>\n

The framework will see\u00a0Costain and lead partner, GHD, provide specialist consultancy advice to the UK government as it delivers critical UK transport infrastructure across road, rail, and aviation.<\/p>\n

Work includes providing bespoke engineering and decarbonisation advice across DfT’s portfolio, a review of stations and asset management in the southeast and helping the Government understand the funding position for major investment by supplying technical expertise.<\/p>\n

The framework hopes to solve mobility challenges, decarbonisation, and improve transport reliability<\/h3>\n

Costain and GHD are working to solve some of the UK\u2019s most pressing transportation and mobility challenges<\/a>, including decarbonisation, improving reliability, and levelling-up.<\/p>\n

The work builds upon the success of DfT\u2019s previous STARTwo Framework and continues a longstanding and collaborative relationship between the DfT, Costain, and GHD.<\/p>\n

Costain will collaborate with SME’s across the framework delivery<\/h3>\n

Costain will work alongside Ramboll, SLC Property, Expedition Engineering, Northstar Consultancy, and the Rail Advisory Group.<\/p>\n

Collaboration with SMEs is a key target for the DfT, which set a goal of 40% SME spending as part of the framework.<\/p>\n

David Taylor, interim managing director for transportation at Costain, commented: \u201cWe have extensive expertise in delivering major projects and are perfectly placed to advise the Government on critical infrastructure solutions.<\/p>\n

These awards are testimony to Costain\u2019s high quality, technical expertise in areas such as decarbonisation, and will facilitate important collaboration with SME partners. Together, and with our lead partner GHD, we will help solve the UK\u2019s most-urgent strategic infrastructure challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n
